The Depew Independent June 4, 1920 Kinch-Austin Nuptials Married at Drumright Tuesday June 1st, Joseph James Kinch and Miss Grayce Elizabeth Austin. The groom has practically grown to manhood in Depew, coming here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kinch some twelve years ago. He is one of the most popular young men in town and won his place in the hearts of his acquaintances by his strict attention to business and his congenial manner. When war with Germany came on he tried to "break in," but had to be content to wait his turn and when it came he willingly shouldered his share of the burden. Coming back from Germany he began to lay plans for the future and no future would be complete without the "only one" to share it with you. Miss Austin was a teacher in our schools for several years, later teaching at Drumright. It is a hard matter for a poor country editor to find words sufficient to express the loveliness of character embodied in the bride. Besides being one of the best teachers we have ever had in our schools, she won a place in the esteem of the patrons that is incomparable. After the ceremony at Drumright the newly-made-happys will visit with the bride’s parents at Longdale, Oklahoma, and then spend a few days in Oklahoma City and visit with Mr. and Mrs. Plettner at Newalla, then to Depew where they will live. The Independent joins their many friends in wishing them all the pleasure, happiness and prosperity possible for them to corral. ----- Captured Some Moonshine Thursday evening Deputy Sheriffs Hazelwood and Klingerman captured a gallon of corn juice in the automobile of Jeff Phillips. He was taken to Sapulpa along with the "moonshine". He put up a strong talk to the officers to turn him loose as he said he "had it fixed with some of the law" and that they would have to turn him loose."
